I think we can all agree that vanilla Skyrim characters are are not very aesthetically pleasing. It’s not just that they’re unattractive, it’s that they don’t look much like people. Thankfully we have an extremely talented modding community who have gone to great lengths to rectify this problem. Total Character Makeover is an attempt to collect this work in one cohesive, easy-to-install compilation.

I've gone through every face and body mod on the Nexus so you don't have to! I compared each individual texture in Photoshop and in the game, and mixed and matched until they looked just right.

MY CRITERIA:

Detailed but performance-friendly textures

A consistent look -- characters look like they all belong in the same game

Improves upon the vanilla look without straying too far from it

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Improved hand and foot meshes

Complete texture sets for all races

Complete snow elf textures

Complete vampire textures

Improved teeth textures

Eye textures for all races

Eyebrow textures

Beard textures

High resolution makeup, warpaint, dirt, freckles, and scars

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED

Nude bodies

Hair textures

New hairstyles

New beards

New eye colors

New warpaints or scars

Child meshes/textures

Changes to individual NPCs

INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE MOD1. Extract the contents of the zip file to your Skyrim Special Edition Data folder.2. Profit.

CHANGES FROM ORIGINALI have no way of generating FaceGenData at the moment, so NPCs will not use some of the assets such as the high resolution face paint.

I also had to leave out the double-sided eyelashes and underwater eye fix because they were causing weird things to happen with the player's eyes.

The female vampire fangs had to go as well, unfortunately.
